I agree, that Thomas necker is very sweet!:thumbup: Is that also one of his folders to the right of the necker? If so, both knives looks like they have some sort of texture at the blade edge forming patterns that resemble Kershaw's composite blades. How is that done? Looks really interesting.

The one to the right in the pic is a folder of his called a mini whaleshark. It also has a titanium blade. The "texture" at the edge of both knives is titanium carbide that he bonds to the blade to form the actual cutting edge since the actual titanium will not hold an edge by itself. There's a better explanation on his web page if you're interested. - Lycosa also has some of his knives so he might chime in here with his thoughts on them. :thumbup:
 
Here are the ones in my collection with a full Ti handle. I also have a custom with 1 side G10 and the other side ti.
Mind the perspective, the two knives at the top are actually the longest.
From top to bottom:
- Klötzli Walker 05
- Klötzli Walker 03
- Klötzli Walker 06
- Benchmade Nagara
- Böker Super Liner Stellar

And I expect this upcoming one around march. It's the incredible Lion Steel SR-1 (currently on pre-order) with a handle from ONE piece of Ti:

Spyderco Police Titanium handle and ATS-34 blade
 
I believe it was scratched up much worse and has been buffed out. It was like that when I bought it on eBay.
 
All things titanium? Should be Things all titanium LOL

That would mean every part of said item would have to be titanium. Is your blade titanium? If so........ That's SWEET! :D

It is! Even the screws :D

Here's a Ti blade for a Super CQC7 by Reese Weiland after I torch colored it.

WongKI, the Japanese style is shorter and comes to a point. The Chinese is longer and has no point. I learned to use the Chinese type in NYC many years ago.
You really ought to learn your heritage !! More than once I've embarrassed a ethnic Chinese in a restaurant by using chopsticks when they asked for a fork !!

I'm in trouble then. I couldn't begin to tell you the difference between my German, Scandinavian, or English forks, and I'm a bit of all of them. My ancestors must be ashamed...

You are kidding about the heritage comment, right?

HERE is a thread that begins with more pics of the knife.

This info was posted a bit further down in the thread:

Blade thickness: 4.5 mm
Overall length: 211 mm
Steel blade: Sleipner
Blade Hardness: 59-60 HRC

Shell: Monolithic Titanium Ti6Al4V Gr.5
Operating System: Frame Lock

Locking blade: Reinforced steel tempered

Browse to the end and you can leave a post stating you want to be put on the pre-order list. If I am not mistaken about the date, then the preorder price until 31 december (soon!) is 195 euro, afterwards it will be a good 100 euro more.

I have 3 Lion Steel knives and the quality is superb. I think this one will be as good as it looks.
 
Mine - with the newest, a Buck 172 Mayo TNT added:
